Re: Switch Just Enjoyed Its Best-Ever Hardware And Software Sales Week Across Europe

@Inaroomalone and in Central and Eastern Europe, the Switch is the first time Nintendo have really tried to market themselves.

I’m currently living in Poland and many people don’t know what a DS or SNES is. There was never any real Nintendo presence until the Switch released.

It will take time to build the Nintendo brand here, and they are doing a good, job (lots of adverts, physical presence in shops) but this is still Xbox and PC gaming country.

@moodycat it’s a shame you didn’t like LM3. I have played all three games and I will admit I do enjoy the games. And whilst I am no game designer, the bad controls I think are deliberate - I personally appreciate the charm it gives to Luigi as a character.

Of course I completely respect that this unique ‘charm’ is not for everyone and I do get the frustration you encountered. But for me it was part of the joy of the game.

Finished Paper Mario last week. Good game. Not great but enjoyable.

As it’s October I’ve decided to become a cliche player - I’m replaying Luigi’s Mansion. One thing that impresses me is Gooigi - a genius in-game mechanic.

Regarding Dread, it’s not my cup of tea but I’m happy for the Metroid fans out there. The more variety on Switch the better!
